The Environmental Issues that Every Real Estate Professional Should Know and Understand

Every real estate transaction inherently includes environmental risks and potential liabilities. Understanding those risks prior to an acquisition, appropriately accounting for the risks in the deal terms, and managing post-closing liabilities are essential to a successful transaction. Thorough and comprehensive pre-acquisition due diligence can also identify timing concerns, financing considerations, grant opportunities, and the need to evaluate regulatory reporting concerns. In this presentation, attorney Leah H. Ziemba will provide an overview of environmental issues that commonly arise in real estate transactions and discuss how to practically manage such risks during all phases of an acquisition.
